Join Global Partnership for Assistive Technology
HelpAge commits to support the Global Partnership for Assistive Technology to ensure older people with disability are aware of relevant assistive technology to support their needs, understand their added value in maintaining and improving their quality of life and have timely access to affordable, quality equipment and assistive technology. As members of the Global Partnership, we will promote understanding among decision-makers of their role in enabling access to assistive technology for older people with disabilities.
Timeframe and/or implementation plan
Under the leadership of our Global Disability Advisor, HelpAge will continue to engage in raising awareness of the Global Partnership for Assistive Technology among 130 global network members across 75 countries. As part of this work, Help Age is committed to developing train modules for specific assistive devices used by older people with disabilities living in low and middle income contexts.
